Bayer Advanced Weed Control Supplies 950ml Concentrate Tree and Shrub Protect with Feed 701810A

I have 3 maple trees that started popping up with hard scale about 3 years ago. I didn’t even know what scale was until I saw our neighbor’s trees that were completely covered in them and then starting spotting the ugly beasts on my beautiful trees. I tried everything from scrubbing off, smothering them and scraping them off (at least what I could reach) using every different spray on treatment under the sun and unfortunately only spraying a mixture of canola oil and water on the hose sprayer seemed to slightly help, but it was a huge mess and I felt like the neighborhood idiot every time I had to go outside and spray my trees down. I’m a tree lover, most ppl just don’t understand. Then I learned that ants actually farm scale. Yes ants introduce the scale to the trees and then they take advantage of the sap that the scale gain access to. So I noticed thousands of ants climbing up and down my maples which I tried to stop with multiple remedies like Vaseline and sticky wraps but nothing could stop the ants. On top of that my trees were always surrounded by flies, yellow-jackets and wasps all of these bugs are just taking advantage of the scale giving them easy access to the sweet maple sap. Long story short, my maples were crawling with pests and they were driving me nuts. Then I read somewhere about some old farmer mentioning using this BioAdvanced 12 month treatment and how it worked from the inside out and only needs one treatment every year so much better than spraying my trees 20ft trees every 6 weeks! So I applied to each tree first thing this spring and honestly the difference was night and day. No scale! I only saw one scale the entire year which I’m pretty sure was dead from last year. No ants! No flies! No wasps or yellow-jackets! My trees just looked and seemed so much happier this year and so am I!

I've used this product for several years now. Each February or March I apply it to my crepe myrtles to keep the black scale and various burrowing insects out. One year I skipped application and my trees paid the price for it. There was a noticeable difference between the year I skipped and the following year. The trees produced far more leaves and colorful blooms. No more pesky scale or insects, too. One annual application with this is all it takes to keep your trees beautiful, blooming, and healthy. I do wish the container was a little bigger for my larger trees, but purchasing additional bottles is worth it.

We had a Gardenia that we planted in the ground some 3 years ago that we just could not get to flower. It was also being attacked with white flies that were making the leaves and bark all black. The buds kept falling off and the leaves yellowing. I tried all the methods given online for white flies and non worked at eradicating the problem. I tried the soapy water, Neem oil and got so frustrated having to continually spray with poor results trying to save it. We eventually called this shrub Lazarus because it refused to die but kept putting out lots of lush green leaves apart from the months the white flies were active.. Then the buds started to fall off. I came across this product and decided to give it a try. Omg!! After about a week of feeding this tree with this product the white flies disappeared, the black gunk washed off the bark and leaves. For the first time in the 3 year I’ve had this shrub I’ve had numerous buds open. I can’t rate this product highly enough. Every year Lazarus will be treated with this product to ensure I get to enjoy these beautiful blooms and smells that this plant emits. So glad I came across this product!

Best product for my shrubs and trees. I have had multiple issues over the years (aphids, leaf fungus, bark splitting and ants) and this product works great on the care and overall health of my plants. :)

This product is the closest thing thing to a miracle I’ve ever experienced. I have a 7ft indoor ficus tree that is 12+ years old which I had neglected over the years. It had slowly started to lose leaves and branches started to die. It finally got to a point where it was very sparse and upon close inspection, I noticed a lot of shiny ‘dew’ like substance on the stems and leaves. Underneath all the remaining leaves, were small hard brown oval lumps. I researched the web and discovered they are known as hard scales, which are very difficult to eradicate if a plant is heavily infested. Most of the advice was to dispose of the tree when in that state. As a last resort, I tried this product and to my utmost surprise, it totally eradicated all the scales and the tree has completely recovered and has put out more leaves and new growth than ever before. The tree is a thing of beauty now. Unbelievable. Here are some details: The tree sits in a 15 gallon pot and I moved it outside to my covered porch. I made the mixture per instructions and poured it in the pot. Underneath the pot,was a plastic container to catch the runoff. I then poured the runoff back onto the pot repeatedly several times until it was all absorbed by the soil and there was no more runoff. This was last summer and during several rain events, I moved the tree outside for exposure. I moved the tree back indoors later in fall. Very pleased with this product.
